The Simpsons
Summary
WhileThe Simpsonsseason 35 has been a solid effort , the show has still somehow finagle to tell the same Homer plot line doubly in its first six instalment . The Simpsonshas been on the air for 35 years and , in that time , the series has produced over 750 episode . The series has been around so long that even its earliest imitator have imitators of their own at this stage . The Simpsonshas been joking about the show ’s deficiency of unfermented ideas since back in time of year 10 , so it is only fair that the series occasionally repeats some reference beat or plot elements .
That said , recent seasons ofThe Simpsonshave been praised specifically for their lack of trust on overly familiar stories and character spark . Only sentence will recite ifThe Simpsonsseason 36can keep this trend alive , but both seasons 34 and 35 have been extol for their acute storytelling , effective character work , and the show ’s diminishing trust on big - name cameo . Despite this , The Simpsonsseason 35 still managed to recapitulate one storyline double in its first six episodes . Fortunately , this repeat did n’t ruin either outing , since both episodes were sufficiently imaginative and original , making the adoption seem harmless .
The Simpsons Season 35 Episodes 1 & 6 Have The Same Homer Plot
From episodes 1 - 10,The Simpsonsseason 35 featured two separate storylines wherein Homer became way too wakeful about minor issues of neighborhood safetyafter unintentionally gaining viral fame . In the season 35 premiere , “ Homer ’s Crossing , ” Homer went viral , and subsequently went mad with power , as a crossing guard . Soon , he began over - patrol the town ’s pedestrian crossover and ended up becoming a corrupt , villainous figure . Meanwhile , in time of year 35 , episode 6 , “ Iron Marge , ” Homer started obsessing over his viral popularity on a NextDoor - burlesque app , Alarmist . This lead him to fear - monger over increasingly mundane public prophylactic concerns to maintain his Alarmist ranking .
This is far from the first timeThe Simpsonsreused existing plot , but it was still surprising to see the show revisit such a specific storyline so swiftly . Both installment saw Homer fight with his lack of purpose , find meaning and popularity in a seemingly helpful part , and soon get over - zealous before finally realizing the error of his ways . However , despite how similar these storylines vocalise , Homer ’s two plots both worked . The Simpsonsseason 35 got away with rehash this plot twice in rapid succession , mainly because each looping of the plot line felt sufficiently original and dissimilar as Homer learned dissimilar lessons .
Both Of The Simpsons Season 35’s Homer Villain Stories Worked
In “ Homer ’s Crossing , ” Homer ’s descent into villainy was the episode ’s main focus , reminding looker that he does have a saturnine side and eventually leading to him becoming an straight-out antagonist . In “ Iron Marge , " it was just a fun vitamin B complex - story , meaning the subplot did n’t palpate repetitive , since Homer ’s behaviour was milder and sillier . Sincethe Simpsons never age , it makes sense that the show ’s everyman admirer does n’t seem to learn his lessons for long . As such , The Simpsonsseason 35 revisiting this storyline soon after the premiere was n’t a problem since one instalment exposed Homer ’s fickleness and the other , his malevolence .
